Edition

After Jack Ketchum shocked the world with his debut novel Off Season, he followed it up with a sequel just as terrifying and shocking: Offspring. As the next entry in Ketchum's Dead River Series, this novel is beloved by the author's fans and is now being published in a very special 30th anniversary edition format from Dark Regions Press.

Offspring 30th Anniversary Edition by Jack Ketchum includes the full novel accompanied by five new illustrations from Tomislav Tikulin and new wraparound dust jacket artwork by David Stoupakis, both artists also created the artwork for Off Season 35th Anniversary Edition. Exclusive bonus materials include an introduction and interview section by Mike Noble, photos, timelines, writings and more during Jack Ketchum's time working on Offspring.
